Title: Daily Crossword Challenge: NYT Mini Puzzle Solutions for January 15
Looking for Tuesday's NYT Mini answers? Look no further!
The NYT Mini is a fast-paced, condensed version of the newspaper's popular crossword. Each day, you'll find between three to five clues in each direction on a five by five grid. Sometimes, the puzzles are larger, especially on Saturdays [1].
Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini is completely free to play on the New York Times website or on their NYT Games app. However, you'll need a subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives [2][3].
Here are the answers to today's NYT Mini Crossword puzzles around the clock. Beware: spoilers await you!
